Meme, Meme, and Mimi

two thoughts remembered — two grandmothers (Memes) — each different yet each similar

I remember standing in

My Grand Mary's yard

Holding her garden hose

Harboring the rainbow spray

As if all of those colors

Belonged only to me

Unwilling to share

Afraid they would

Evaporate

 

I remember standing in

My Grandmother's shadow

Her rabbit-fur-gloved hand holding mine

Bewildered she brushed away

The glistening blue-white

Flakes of frozen water--snow--

I wanted to share

Before they would

Evaporate
